We’ve also taken a look at the La-Z-Boy Broadway system, which is a great home cinema seating system for lazy boys who prefer to have the cinema come to them, rather than go through all the hassle of getting out and seeing films at the theater.

This multimedia chair, called the iMedia from company Empower Technologies, has bags of features, and also looks pretty comfy, which of course is a must. Features of this chair include integrated 15″ TFT Video Display on a swivel arm, integrated Logitech Z-5500 surround sound system, five phase-aligned satellite speakers, a powered 10″ subwoofer, 505 Watt RMS 6 channel amplifier, 5.1 Dolby digital, DTS , Dolby Pro Logic I Decoding, wireless remote control and digital sound touch control center. It even includes a 3.5″ touch screen which allows for control of iPod functions!

There are also a number of auxiliary inputs which allow you to connect other multimedia sources such as music, games of film players! This is one chair that truly seems to have bags of features for the technology geek. The downsides, it’s not a recliner, it doesn’t look overly comfortable, and there’s no mention of how easy or otherwise it would be to upgrade the IT components.

We’ll no doubt be featuring more chairs such as this in the future for Lazy Boy Furniture fans with geeky tendencies.

The Ultimate Game Chair could be just the thing you’re after. It’s just about every lazy boy’s dream, like a comfy leather massage chair combined with a sit-in arcade machine, all in the comfort of your lounge or games room.

Sure, any regular piece of lazy boy furniture can be utilised for gaming, apart from maybe getting physical with a Nintendo Wii, but then you’d not be much of a lazy boy of you spend your time prancing about the living room with a remote control flapping about like a tennis racquet now would you? But they’re not really built for purpose, and this chair-cum-gadget certainly is.

The Ultimate Game Chair even uses 12 vibration motors that are synchronized to the game action. When you pull the trigger, the chair vibrates. When the car crashes, the chair vibrates. When the quarterback is sacked, the chair vibrates. How cool is that? It works with just about any games system, PC and Mac.

The clincher, and reason this just about gets itself a mention on Lazy Boy Furniture? Despite all it’s cleverness and gadgetry, the chair still reclines to an angle of about 60 degrees, and is well padded for comfort. So when all that gaming gets a bit much, you can lean back in your chair and take a quick power nap before going on another fragging match.
